"Ericaaaaaaa." she heard her Mum call her name.
"Oh why won't you guys just leave me alone." she got up brushed her teeth and went to the dinning "Good morning Mum." she said.
"Morning." her Mum said "Go and have your bathe and let's go to the coffee shop."
After she ate her breakfast, she cleared the table and went to take a shower, dressed up and fixed a light make-up, she picked her phone and went to the sitting room. Her Mum was already dressed, they walked side by side to the coffee shop.
"Why were you late?" one of the customer said as Erica opened the door to the coffee shop. Linda (Erica's Mother) managed a not too big coffee shop at the centre of Kriska. Erica lives with her Mum and her little Sister.
Her Dad and Mum got apart when she was 14 years of age. She loves her Mum a lot but her Mum frustrates her sometimes telling her about Marriage. She saw her Dad as a kind-hearted man but she doesn't know the exact reason he left them, all she knew was her Dad and Mum had a misunderstanding and that misunderstanding is what she don't know and anytime she asks her Mum, her Mum changes the topic.
"Yes ma my coffee." a customer said.
"Oh sorry!" Erica said and gave the customer a cup of coffee.
"Hey I have been waiting here for a while now and no one is attending to me." one of the female customer said.
"Oh sorry, she is coming she'll attend to you." Linda said as she glared at Erica "You are really slow, make it quick." she added.
Erica went to the customer to attend to her holding a cup of coffee on her right hand "Am sorry ma." she said and gave the customer the cup of coffee on her hand.
"It's okay." the customer said.
Erica nodded and went to attend to the her customers.
** Few hours later **
"Arghh." Erica sighed and checked the time on her phone 'Oh God it's almost 7pm' she went to her Mum who was making a phone call with someone.
"I won't buy anything for you so don't call me anymore." Linda said angrily. Erica slowly walked towards her.
'Who would Mum be talking to so angry' Erica thought. "Mum who was that?" Erica asked.
"Your sister, she is asking me to buy her a beautiful dress she saw in a supermarket yesterday, she said she is having a party in her school and she wants to wear that dress." Linda said and sighed.
"Oh."
"Mum.....ahh actually remember I told you I am going for an interview tomorrow." Erica said.
"Oh yes..so what's the problem dear." Linda asked.
"Well Mum....ahhh..I wanted to ask if I could go home and prepare for my interview." Erica said and her Mum looked at her coldly.
"But you know we have customers you have not attend to yet." Linda said suddenly.
"I know Mum, before I leave I will make sure to attend to all available at the moment, okay Mum?" Erica looked at her Mum with a pleading look.
"Alright." Linda said with a sigh.
Erica went to attend to all customers available at that moment.
**Few minutes later**
She was done attending to all customers and she headed home. When she got home she knocked, suddenly the door opened. Behind the door was a beautiful young girl, her eyes widened all of a sudden.
"Hey sis, thank goodness you're back I really need your help."
Erica smiled and walked in 'What would she possibly need right now, I have work to do' Erica thought and sighed "Arghh what is it." Erica said.
"Big sis their is a dress I saw in the supermarket yesterday, I really like the dress, I would like to wear it for the party I am having in school." Lily said with a pleading expression.
"So what is the problem then?" Erica asked 'Is she going to ask me to beg Mum, no way' Erica thought and looked at Lily wierdly.
"Mum doesn't want to get it for me please plead on my behalf, please elder sis." Lily said still with the same expression.
"No way Lily I can't afford to be scolded by Mum please, I have an interview tomorrow so, sorry I can't." Erica said and walked into her room and opened her cupboard.
